Ashley: How's the tour been so far?
Scott: Ummm the tour so far...uh Dave?
Dave: Its been good!!

Ashley: Good answer.
Dave: Thank you Scott.

Ashley: What's the craziest thing you guys have done on tour?
Scott: The craziest thing we've ever done. I have a feeling this one involves Dave.
Dave: Oh the craziest thing I've ever done....the craziest thing I've ever done is Scott! Hahahahaha. Woooooo. No seriously, Scott.
Scott: We don't do anything crazy, we're not a crazy band.
Dave: One time I took off all my clothes in the the van and sat up in the front seat with a mangina. That's when I stick my junk in between my legs so it looks like a have a vagina.
Scott: You said vagina, now its a beautiful day.

Ashley: So tell us how you started the band and got signed, try to make it interesting.
Scott: Uhh Dave?
Dave: I dunno man, I dunno what to say to that.
Scott: Me and Dave actually started the band....
Ashley: No you didn't
Scott: Ya we did.
Dave: Oh no! She did research!
Ashley: No, I've actually been a fan for awhile. I'm not stupid.
Dave: That's a first for interviewers. Everytime we get interviewed, they're like, "So your band's name is Allistair." Yeeeeeeeaaahh. And the name of the cd is "Lost In a Suburban."
Scott: We actually got that.
Dave: "Lost In a Suburban", seriously dude.
Scott: Ahhh so you want the real story.
Ashley: Yeah.
Scott: Tim and John started the band in high school. They got got Skippy, Skippy quit. Wait, no no no I fast forwarded a bit. I joined, we did "Dead Ends and Girlfriends," then Skippy quit.
Dave: I joined.
Scott:....Dave joined.
Dave: After a croquet match in a bed. I don't wanna talk about that though. Really I don't want to talk about the croquet match at all! Don't make me.
Scott: Don't make him talk about it.
Ashley: I think he does want to talk about it.
Dave: No, no. Then John quit after awhile.
Ashley: Did you kick him out?
Dave: No we didn't kick him out. Then our cd came out, "Last Stop Suburbia." John left, then Chris joined.
Scott: Da da da

Ashley: How'd you get signed?
Dave: We had a pen and then some papers, I signed on it, then he did too...
Scott: Wait, wait! He's fast forwarding! First off, there was some heavy petting involved. They told us this was label policy but we've talked to the other bands now and I don't think that it was. You tricked us, you tricked us Drive-Thru!
Dave: I'll never eat another pussy for your record label ever again!

Ashley: Hey Alec, you have any questions?
Scott: I don't think we've met yet, I'm Scott.
Dave: Hey Alec, I'm Dave.

Alec: What was your most embarassing moment?
Scott: That's a good question, straight out of Cosmo. No wait, what's the magazine with the most embarassing moments?
Dave: That's YM.
Scott: Its funny that you know that.
Dave: Yeah. Well the most embarassing thing that's ever happened to me...one day in class I got my period. So I ran to the bathroom and you know, I had white pants on. And then I ran into my crush in the hallway.
Scott: Yeah, that boy he was crushing on.
Dave: I was SO embarassed! I would say that's the most embarassing thing that's ever happened to me.
Scott: I would say that I was pretty embarassed for him.
Dave: Yeah 'cause we were in homeroom together.
Scott: It was funny 'cause we both liked the same guy.
Dave: Talk about a fiasco!
Ashley: Junior high is tough.
Dave: Yeah, junior high is rough on you.

Ashley: Let's play a word association game.
Dave: Alright, let's do it!
Ashley: Then I'll write up a psychological profile.
Scott: Spaghetti!
*Laughter*
Scott: I'm jumping ahead of the game.
Ashley: I've gotta say a word first!
Scott: Dominoes!
Dave: Pizza! hahaha
Ashley: Actually, I think I'm just gonna skip this...its stupid.
Scott: No, no let's do this. Come on Ashley.

Ashley: Yeah, so I asked my friends for stupid words, and yeah, I've got stupid words. So say whatever comes to mind first. Beastiality....
Dave: ?
Scott: Fun

Ashley: Troll
Scott: ?
Dave: Billy goats!

Ashley: Winky winky
Dave: Dingleberries
Scott: Turtle worm

Ashley: Sponge
Dave: Rock band, heavily influenced by

Ashley: Zinger
Dave: Pastry
Scott: Monkey

Ashley: Steak tartar
Scot & Dave: What?
Ashley: I'm not sure what it is either.
Dave: I think we've finally found a word that when its said to me, my mind just goes blank.
Scott: Steak tartar
Ashley: Oooo yeah!

A: Which band or artist do you wish would just give up and/or throw themselves off a cliff?
Dave: Probably Tim from our band.
*crazy laughter, everyone in the club is looking at us*
Dave: No, I don't know....Seriously folks, no seriously, I'd probably have to say Mick Jagger from the Rolling Stones. I'd say its about time for him to pack it in
Scott: Or Clint from the Riddlin Kids.
Dave: Yeah, real piece of shit.

Ashley: How much money do you guys make?
Dave: I made 5 today. Then I spent 0 of it on food.
Scott: I actually had an $8 meal at Burger King today. Real, real expensive. Yeah, I made like $3 today. Wait, minus $5, I ate Chinese food.

Ashley: So tell us about the new Drive-Thru DVD that's coming out.
Dave: I heard its shaped like a circle, with a hole in the middle and I think there's lasers involved.
Scott: Yeah
Dave: I don't want to get too technical for the kids reading this.
Scott: I read an article on it and if you go into Best Buy..... actually just go into Best Buy and they'll tell you all about it.

Ashley: You guys are on it right? Tell me like what...
Dave: Well actually, DVD stands for digital video disk.
Scott: Really?
Dave: Yeah, that's what I heard. There's gonna be live footage of us on their I think and you can watch it on a moving picture box, which nowadays I believe they call it television.

Ashley: That's amazing. So what have you guys been listening to lately?
Scott: Saliva....yeah I think Saliva. My favorite song is "Click Click Boom".
Dave: Scott and I went to a Saliva concert the other night, for real. When they played their new hit single "I Love You, I Hate You"...
Scptt: "Always". Its called "Always".
Dave: I didn't know, I just took it right out of the case.
Scott: Can I just tell you, when they played "Click Click Boom"....oh my God. My knees were shaking, I felt weak.
Dave: And when he had the whole audience say "Click Click Boom" with him and he didn't sing it, we all screamed it. It was awesome!
Scott: Rarely do I believe in God but that kind of converted me right there. "Click Click Boom" he said it and it was spiritual, I'm not gonna lie about it.
Dave: I feel kind of weird saying it, but I think the lead singer of Saliva is the new Jesus Christ.
Scott: Ya know, I didn't want to say it but he said it for me.
Ashley: But I thought Scott Stapp from Creed was the new Jesus Christ. My world is shattered.
Dave: Scott Stapp? He wishes! He wishes his band rocked as hard as Saliva.
Ashley: I wish I was there.

Alec: Do you guys skate?
Dave: Rollerskate? Yes.
Scott: Usually on days off we go to roller rinks. Me and Dave...
Dave: We moonlight. Mostly to Abba.
Scott: I'm always the fuckin dancing queen. I'm the best dancer. We fight sometimes, I usually win. I just find that I can really get into "Dancing Queen." I shake my hips.
Dave: And it goes well with disco lights and rollerskating.
Ashley: I like Funkytown better really.
Dave: Oh that's a good one too! That's a really good one.

Ashley: So how has the band changed creatively since "Dead Ends and Girlfriends"?
Scott: Changed...(thinking)
Dave: Changed...(thinking)
Ashley: Creative changes...
Scott: There's a lack of it I would say.
Dave: I'd say the new cd as a whole is more mature than the old cd. Just because Scott, Tim, and John wrote all the songs for "Dead Ends and Girlfriends" and they've all grown up a lot. Its a little more serious. Not super-serious, but definitely more serious.

Ashley: Tell the kids why they should buy your cd.
*silence*
Ashley: No reason?
Scott: I guess I'll never go into marketing.
Dave: Cuz it sounds alright.
*laughter*
Dave: 16 tunes you can really tap your foot to I think.

Alec: What's your favorite kind of food?
S: My favorite kind of food is cereal. I love cereal.
D: My favorite food is quesadillas.

Alec: What is your favorite song to play live?
Scott: Like the one that has the most meaning to me? Probably..."None of My Friends Are Punks".
Dave: I would say the exact same thing for real. I think that song has a real powerful message about punk rock and everything in general.

Dave: You wanna smell how bad my hair smells?
Ashley: Nope
Dave: Smell it.
*Scott smells Dave's raunchy hair*
Scott: That's pretty terrible.
Dave: Isn't it terrible? Its sharp, its like sharp cheddar or something. Two days ago I took a shower but I didn't wash my hair, then yesterday I played a show and then this morning I got up and I didn't take a shower. This is three days of grease, that's why my hair is lying flat down. I can't even wear my hat right now because it smells so bad.
Ashley: That's gross!
Dave: Visit www.allisterrock.com to find out more about my hair.
